What your result could be
Every possible result for this test, and what each one means.
Elite — 80+ WPM — touch-typing professional
Top a few percent of the population. You don't look at the keyboard, your fingers know where everything is, and your accuracy holds even at speed.
Fast — 60–79 WPM — comfortably above average
Solid typing speed. You can keep up with your own thoughts and probably finish emails in half the time of your colleagues.
Average — 40–59 WPM — middle of the pack
Right around the average for adults. You're functional, but a few weeks of deliberate practice could move you up a tier.
Hunt and peck — Under 40 WPM
Either typing isn't your daily tool, or you're using two-finger style. The good news: this metric improves the fastest with practice.
Frequently asked
How long does this test take?
Exactly 60 seconds of typing, plus a few seconds to read the briefing.
What is a good WPM?
Average adult typing speed is 35-45 WPM. 60+ is fast; 80+ is professional. Top performers exceed 100 WPM with good accuracy.
How is the score calculated?
WPM is adjusted for accuracy: each error reduces your effective speed. The leaderboard records your adjusted WPM, so a slower clean run can beat a fast one with typos.
